The feature appears somewhat similar to TikTok\u2019s own templates tool<\/a>, which allows creators to drop their own content into a premade sequence.<\/p>\n Reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi spotted<\/a> an early version of Templates in January, while marketing manager and influencer Josephine Hill has already gotten to experience the feature<\/a>. In a screenshot posted by Hill in March, it looks like users can swap their own clips into preset frames, as well as add their own audio. This could save users from using third-party templates from sites like Canva<\/a>, or having to closely follow online tutorials to achieve a specific format, something Hill pointed out to Insider<\/em>.<\/p>\n Instagram REELS announced a new feature! \u201cUse as template\u201d allows user to replace the clips with your own and it will match the time stamps of the template reel. Let me know what you think of this feature. Does this make you want to create more reels? pic.twitter.com\/rLMJAX89jG<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Jo Millie (@JosephineMedia) March 26, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n \u201cWe are always working on new ways to make Reels simpler to create,\u201d a Meta spokesperson said in a statement to Insider<\/em>. \u201cWe are testing the ability for you to make a reel using an existing Template from another reel.\u201d Instagram also told Insider<\/em> that it\u2019s currently testing the feature with a small group of users. The Verge<\/em> reached out to Instagram with a request for comment but didn\u2019t immediately hear back.<\/p>\n The test comes as Instagram attempts to attract more creators to Reels, and addresses one of its biggest problems: TikTok reposts. Last year, Instagram said it would stop promoting Reels with TikTok watermarks<\/a>, and earlier this week, Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri announced the platform would be cracking down even harder by downranking reposts<\/a>. Throwing templates into the mix could make it easier to make videos on Reels and spur the creation of more original content.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
